Mozart's The Magic Flute

16. Mozart's The Magic Flute

Mozart’s wonderful 'The Magic Flute' was premiered in Vienna in 1791 – and this is one of the posters printed to advertise that first performance. The opera follows the lovers Tamino and Pamina and also includes the famously fiendish Queen of the Night’s aria ‘Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen’. Image: Alamy
